The NYPD has suspended two officers who responded to check on a Brooklyn woman who was later found dead in a stairwell.
The officers, who are assigned to the 77th Precinct, were initially called to the home on Sterling Place in Crown Heights to check on 22-year-old Tonie Wells, but didn't find anything and left.
Their actions, including whether they actually checked on Wells, are now under investigation. The department said the initial welfare check call came in at 8:40 a.m. Different officers found the body after another call was placed around 10 a.m.
